One of Shakespeare’s most famous comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream tells the whirlwind story of expectations and dreams and getting lost in the in-between. This chaotic tale unfolds in the magical midnight world of the Athenian forest where the air is pierced with jealousy, unrequited love, and delicious confusion. As they enter the forest, the Athenians are caught in Titania and Oberon’s quarrel over a child, both fairies desperate to follow their dreams of motherhood. Determined and yet disoriented, the humans are left to grapple with new identities and unexpected declarations of love.
Our interpretation of this magical tale invites a closer look at the tensions between external expectations and the characters’ needs to negotiate their own sense of self. The production design is influenced by the barren mothers’ and their need to fill the harsh forest with song, light, and love. In the midst of this liminal space of the forest, dreams and reality blur and merge. Who do these individuals dream to be, and at what cost?
